U.S., but who you can sponsor and how fast depends on whether you are a citizen or a green card holder and your relationship to them. <strong>Bringing family to the U.S.<\/strong> works through family-based immigration: U.S. citizens can sponsor spouses, children, parents, and siblings, while green card holders can sponsor spouses and unmarried children. Immediate relatives of citizens have no visa wait, while other relatives fall into preference categories with longer waits.<\/p>\n<p>This guide explains who you can sponsor and how the process works.

They can petition for a spouse, children of any age or marital status, parents, and siblings. This covers a wide range of relatives, from immediate family to extended ones.<\/p>\n<p>The category and wait depend on the relationship. A citizen&#8217;s spouse, parents, and unmarried children under 21 are immediate relatives with no visa wait, while adult children, married children, and siblings fall into preference categories.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"resident\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_a_Green_Card_Holder_Can_Sponsor\"><\/span>Who a Green Card Holder Can Sponsor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Green card holders can sponsor a narrower group: a spouse and unmarried children. They cannot petition for parents, siblings, or married children.<\/p>\n<p>These relatives fall into preference categories, so they wait for a visa to become available. If a permanent resident naturalizes, their ability to sponsor expands and some relatives move to the no-wait immediate relative track.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"immediate\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Immediate_Relatives_vs_Preference\"><\/span>Immediate Relatives vs Preference<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The single biggest factor in timing is whether your relative is an immediate relative or in a preference category. This determines whether they wait for a visa number:<\/p>\n<figure>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Relationship<\/th>\n<th>Cat\u00e9gorie<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Spouse, parent, or child under 21 of a citizen<\/td>\n<td>Immediate relative, no wait<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Spouse or unmarried child of a green card holder<\/td>\n<td>Preference (F2A\/F2B)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Adult or married child, or sibling of a citizen<\/td>\n<td>Preference, often long waits<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Immediate relatives can move forward as soon as documents are ready, while preference relatives wait until their priority date is current in the Visa Bulletin.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"process\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_the_Process_Works\"><\/span>How the Process Works<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The process starts with Form I-130, which establishes the qualifying family relationship. After approval, the relative either goes through consular processing abroad or adjusts status in the U.S. if eligible and a visa is available.<\/p>\n<p>For immediate relatives already in the U.S., the I-130 and I-485 can sometimes be filed together. Our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/theatlaslegal.com\/fr\/what-happens-after-i130-approval\/\">what happens after I-130 approval<\/a> explains the next steps.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Not sure which relatives you can sponsor or how long it takes?

Legal help is valuable when you are unsure which relatives you can sponsor, when a child may age out, when the sponsor&#8217;s income is tight, when a relative has any prior immigration or criminal issue, or when you are choosing between consular processing and adjustment. An attorney can sequence the case and prepare the documents. Outcomes depend on the facts of each case.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"faq\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Questions fr\u00e9quemment pos\u00e9es<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_bring_my_family_to_the_US\"><\/span>Can I bring my family to the U.S.?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, through family-based immigration, but who you can sponsor depends on your status. U.S. citizens can sponsor a spouse, children, parents, and siblings, while green card holders can sponsor a spouse and unmarried children. Immediate relatives of citizens have no visa wait, while other relatives fall into preference categories with longer waits. The process starts with Form I-130 and a qualifying relationship.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_can_a_US_citizen_sponsor\"><\/span>Who can a U.S. citizen sponsor?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A U.S. citizen can sponsor a spouse, children of any age or marital status, parents, and siblings. The category and wait depend on the relationship: a spouse, parents, and unmarried children under 21 are immediate relatives with no visa wait, while adult children, married children, and siblings fall into preference categories that can involve waits of years, depending on the category and country.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_can_a_green_card_holder_sponsor\"><\/span>Who can a green card holder sponsor?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A green card holder can sponsor a spouse and unmarried children, in preference categories F2A and F2B. They cannot petition for parents, siblings, or married children. These relatives wait for a visa to become available. If the permanent resident naturalizes, their sponsorship ability expands, and some relatives move to the no-wait immediate relative track, which can significantly shorten the timeline.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_does_it_take_to_bring_family_to_the_US\"><\/span>How long does it take to bring family to the U.S.?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It depends on the category. Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens have no visa wait and can move forward as soon as documents are ready, though processing still takes time. Preference relatives wait until their priority date is current in the Visa Bulletin, which can be months or years depending on the relationship and country. Checking your category gives the most accurate picture.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_sponsor_my_parents_or_siblings\"><\/span>Can I sponsor my parents or siblings?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Only U.S. citizens can sponsor parents or siblings. A citizen can petition for a parent as an immediate relative, with no visa wait, and for a sibling in the F4 preference category, which has long waits. Green card holders cannot sponsor parents or siblings. If you are a permanent resident and want to bring a parent or sibling, you would generally need to naturalize first.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_income_requirement_to_sponsor_family\"><\/span>What is the income requirement to sponsor family?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sponsors must generally file an Affidavit of Support and show income at or above the required level for their household size, or use assets or a joint sponsor to make up any gap. Insufficient income is a common cause of delay in family cases. Planning for the income requirement early, and lining up a joint sponsor if needed, helps keep the case moving smoothly.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_my_family_have_to_be_abroad_to_be_sponsored\"><\/span>Does my family have to be abroad to be sponsored?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No. You can sponsor a relative who lives abroad, who completes consular processing, or a relative already in the U.S. in a qualifying situation, who may adjust status. Immediate relatives in the U.S. and eligible can sometimes file the I-130 and I-485 together. The right path depends on where the relative is, how they entered, and their current status.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_bring_my_fiance_to_the_US\"><\/span>Can I bring my fianc\u00e9 to the U.S.?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A U.S. citizen can bring a fianc\u00e9 on a K-1 fianc\u00e9 visa, which allows the couple to marry in the U.S. within a set time and then apply for a green card. This is separate from sponsoring a spouse, which applies after marriage. Whether the K-1 or a spousal route fits depends on your situation, such as where you are and whether you are already married.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"conclusion\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bottom_Line\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can bring family to the U.S. through family-based immigration, but who you sponsor depends on your status: citizens can sponsor spouses, children, parents, and siblings, while green card holders can sponsor spouses and unmarried children. Immediate relatives of citizens have no wait; others wait in preference categories. The process starts with Form I-130. Each case depends on its own facts.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to reunite with family, Atlas Legal Immigration Law can guide you.
